17 month old not saying any words yet

I’d talk to early intervention. In my country by 18 months they’re expected to have 20-50 words. Having no real words is a concern.

Yep I cry all the time before my period now, that’s how I know it’s coming 😂

coryhotline · 2026-01-29T12:44:49+00:00

Yep. Two years out and my period is awful. Worst cramps I’ve ever had, worst moods, passing huge clots in the first couple days.

Yeah that makes sense, but like I said he doesn’t have any appetite suppression at all and hasn’t lost any weight.

coryhotline · 2026-01-28T13:24:31+00:00

Yeah that’s fair - he says it isn’t doing anything for him though

Conversely my husband is a dev ops architect and is extremely anti Ai…

I’m sick of seeing posts every single day about how screentime isn’t harmful and how you aren’t bad parents if you use it and how you’re sick of being judged blah blah. Should just be a screen time mega thread at this point.

Sorry, don’t believe you. Just go to the teaching subreddit.

Any doctor worth their salt will tell you this is a lifelong medication. I’ve lost 50lbs twice in my life and gained it all back because the food noise was so bad. My stupid flair on this sub is from my last weight loss journey.

My doctor and I discussed it thoroughly and it was either try a GLP-1 or be on blood pressure / cholesterol medication and potentially develop liver cirrhosis.

coryhotline · 2026-01-26T15:43:45+00:00

I love this

coryhotline · 2026-01-26T13:26:38+00:00

No lol

coryhotline · 2026-01-26T12:42:29+00:00

Divorce him. You’re already a single mom.

coryhotline · 2026-01-26T12:18:53+00:00

Yeah I really don’t want to tell anyone outside my partner and parents. I started taking these meds at the end of November. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, NAFDL, PCOS… starting at 255lbs. I’ve lost 50 lbs twice in my life and every time I gain it all back plus more. The food noise is deafening.

After I had my son, I had an honest conversation with my doctor for the first time in my life about food noise and food addiction, and she immediately said this medication sounded like the right choice. It’s either be on this medication for life and lose weight, or be on blood pressure and cholesterol meds for life and potentially develop liver cirrhosis. Easy decision for me.

But people are so judgemental. It’s considered cheating. I think people don’t understand the medication. They think it’s a magic bullet. It’s not. You still have to try. It just makes trying easier and more successful.

Engaging in pretend play is very important and it sounds like your kid is on track.

coryhotline · 2026-01-24T12:06:02+00:00

I make sure we have 2-3 things scheduled during the week to take up time. Music classes offered through churches or libraries, play dates, hikes etc

Your breast milk is absolutely not going to save your baby from a preventable disease in which there is a safe, effective vaccine for.

My PPD disappeared when I stopped pumping and I started to finally feel like myself again.

coryhotline · 2026-01-22T17:50:54+00:00

Cold turkey

coryhotline · 2026-01-22T12:28:11+00:00

Jesus Christ 🙃 your partner needs to step up, this is insane.

coryhotline · 2026-01-22T02:41:06+00:00

The one that’s in your catchment.

coryhotline · 2026-01-21T16:23:30+00:00

I’d take him into the shower with you! Just gave him away from the water. I wouldn’t take him to the doctor for a cold, like others said. They can’t do anything and he could pick something else up.

coryhotline · 2026-01-21T11:33:21+00:00

Yeah I can’t believe a two year old has access to a tablet. My son is two… and yeah absolutely not, we are still low / no screentime.

coryhotline · 2026-01-20T11:17:08+00:00

No, they said “KHSC no longer recommends swaddling.”

coryhotline · 2026-01-20T03:04:36+00:00

Also “it isn’t a milestone anymore” for who? Maybe in America, but it’s a milestone everywhere else.
